The Sun Is Shining For The First Time In Forever; We're Gay! Fagz Club Spring 2010

i have two pairs of levis that i wear (one blue, one black) and maroon corduroys that i wear when the mood strikes

Sad that Levis cords seem to top out at 32" inseams these days.

levis trouser jeans are a really good investment, too, if you're looking for something a little less casual than jeans, but not dressy

I need new jeans, but today I'm wearing interview pants. So I can earn more and buy any clothes whatsoever.

!! interview today? break a leg

i actually think plain old boxers are reallllllly hot too, but with the wrong pair of pants it's too much fabric

My problem exactly. Also: I have no ass.

omg since i went up 2 pants sizes last year i HAVE AN ASS. i am so excited. i've never had one before.

well, I'm not sure if it's going to be better than what I have... since my current job may transform completely next Monday. I'm always confident I will make the wrong decision.

xxp

Take it out for a walk, surm.

boxers are the worst, jeez

Yeah, I don't care how boxers look. They feel really bunchy and annoying on me.

i love a boy in boxers. it's so guy-y

also they're just so old school and cute !

I think you have to have thighs the size of Cheyenne Jackson's for them to really look flattering, but that's just me.

ramzi is partly correct, but a guy's guy in boxer briefs is actually hotter because of the expectations it defies, so boxers are kind of a lose-lose all around

Before I watch Brothers later, I must know: do Gylly and Tobey frenk kiss?

Trouser jeans--I think that is what mine are. They're jean-ish with a hint of strech but don't feel like denim, exactly. I wonder what kind of guy I seem like (briefs, boxbriefs, boxers, nothing?)

I'm simple and old-fashioned: anytime someone can SEE your boxers, they should be OFF!

I know for a fact that at least one gaylxor wears boxers exclusively.

around town?

on the ground

not this one! xp

I agree with most boxers complaints, 'cept they permit a certain sensation of... freedom.

^^ also, easy access is a big plus

keep that note for tabes when he returns

what I haven't worn in awhile is my boxing trunks! I was gonna spar with a guy this weekend but had to cancel, too much else to do.

...

haha -- i love how morbs has slowly revealed himself to be an ex-stand up comedian & now a boxer

for some reason i'd never realised they were called boxing trunks

nah he's a lightweight ;)

I've mentioned this before! I am no more a boxer than you, just someone who has made a stab at it (and usually gotten clobbered).

Surely I'm not the only one? Jesse said he used to like to glove up and fight.

Haha. Go figure that no one here figured out why McBride hates A&F. He's not necessarily against branding. Only mentions the CEO in the capacity of him having turned a struggling company into a very successful one. Doesn't complain about the fit of their clothes, although he does accuse their clothes of being very ordinary, fashionable logo aside. He doesn't really complain about fagz who wear A&F, although he does have some interesting, somewhat damning insight about them.

The problem with A&F, and this is something I've felt since high school, but could never quite articulate, is that they are selling whiteness. McBride specifically contrasts this Ralph Lauren, who, yes, are selling an upper middle class lifestyle, but one attainable to anyone who can afford it. A&F regularly discriminates against non-white employees, with store managers forced to fire them if higher-ups discover them working at their stores, and usually only able to hire them to begin with if they fit a very rigid look that avoids any ethnic cultural signifiers, as articulated by their highly race-coded company policy. They were subject to a class-action lawsuit over this.

The insight about (white) A&F fagz is that, one step removed from the Old Boys' Club, their purchase of whiteness subconsciously allows them to feel included in the Old Boys' Club which might otherwise deny them because of their sexuality. He contrasts them with gay Republicans, who are more cognizant of their one-step-away status and decide to claim the benefits of the Good Ol' Boys for themselves. As for non-white A&F fagz, they just have their shit even more twisted.

i went to an A&F store for the first time a couple of weeks ago (looking for a tie), and it blew my mind. it was like walking into a nightclub... a nightclub full of clothes! the lighting was so, so dim and the music was so, so loud. and there was this fucking awful smell, like cheap cologne, being pumped out of the aircon. i could actually smell it on my clothes after i walked out.

A&F clothes don't fit me and are really dull to boot

meanwhile about 90% of my wardrobe is from either h&m or uniqlo lol

My best gay friend M*ttie works at a Uniqlo in NYC. This is the only reason I've heard of Uniqlo.

it's the only one in the US atm (all the other stores are UK/east asia). their pants fit me like a ~*dream*~

The problem with A&F, and this is something I've felt since high school, but could never quite articulate, is that they are selling whiteness.

u never put this together til now?? so true.

Yeah, A&F have been some sort of 'roid-'luude aryan paradise since their resurgence.

I had a vague sense of it, yes.

<3

in other news, i just got these shoes in the mail

http://www.shoebuy.com/pi/radii/radii324969_179073_lg.jpg

You better find a matching scarf before winter ends!

It's weird how gradual our shift into Back to the Future, Part 2 has been.

But I do love those shoes. I only just want them in blue.

OMG DR3W you played "Deep Inside" (deep, deep, down inside). Fucking love that song. Plz tell me people when nuts when they heard it?

yeah, it was kind of the emotional peak- I thought it was fitting since the party is called Deep In the Game.

Ralphi Rosario Feat. Xavier Gold - "You Used To Hold Me”

:D would've gone so nuts to this
